From The South China Morning Post, via A Glimpse of the World:
Could there be something between the timing of the anti-Japanese protests and the mainland visits by Taiwanese opposition leaders? It is probably too early to say, but there are many reasons to believe that profound shifts are under way in Sino-Japanese and cross-strait relations which are inextricably linked.
It is hard not to believe that motives beyond the most obvious exist for the latest outbreak of anti-Japanese protests on the mainland.
